Christen Bach

Christen Bach is a Danish audio-visual artist currently living in Berlin, Germany. His personal work mainly focuses on human behavior – often told through experimental or stylistic visuals – using the absurd or the surreal to highlight the emotional content and to put the reality of the themes into perspective.

Bach’s artisanship elegantly crosshatches traditional craft and new digital technologies such as Virtual Reality – ofttimes combined in conceptual tableaus or mixed media animation.

ARTWORK

‘The Great Connection’
3D Animation

‘The Great Connection’ is an animated philosophical musing on what is happening to our spirituality / mythologies during the advent of the digital communication age.

‘The Great Connection’ is an animated underwater musical/operetta dealing with the first encounter between the mythological creatures of the sea and the Information Superhighway. As a fiber optic cable suddenly appears at the bottom of the ocean the mythological creatures gather to debate: Will this be their salvation? Or will the teeth of this thing cause nothing but tears?

It is loosely inspired by the H.C. Andersen’s story ’The Great Sea Serpent’.
